Gustafsson -- who failed in his bid to unseat Jones in September --
stopped the previously undefeated Jimi Manuwa
with a second-round knee strike from the clinch and follow-up
punches in the UFC Fight Night 38 headliner on March 8 at the O2
Arena in London. Manuwa met his end 78 seconds into round two, his
14-fight winning streak a thing of the past.

Under duress from an aggressive and confident adversary, Gustafsson
turned to his wrestling in the first round. He struck for a
takedown inside the first minute and tagged Manuwa with mild
ground-and-pound in full guard. Little damage was done, but
Gustafsson had effectively neutralized the knockout-minded Brit.
Early in round two, the Swede zapped Manuwa with a brutal knee from
the Thai plum, followed with a pair of crushing right uppercuts and
polished off his latest conquest with hammerfists on the mat.

“It feels amazing. We’ve been working so hard,” Gustafsson said.
“This guy was so dangerous, I thought maybe I should take him down,
but I felt good standing, too.”
